Financial Aid

To assist you in your educational pursuits, we offer our students aid from various
sources. Most of the aid, be it federal, state, or local sources, is awarded on a
first-come, first-served basis. You are encouraged to apply early and let our Financial
Aid office assist you in that process. We will provide you deadlines and keep you
informed of the many opportunities to cover your expenses. Helping you fund your education
at Philander Smith College is our business…you can’t afford not to let us help!

The final version of the 2014-2015 Free Application for Federal Student Aid (FAFSA)
is now available online at
www.fafsa.gov.

An updated
FAFSA on the Web worksheet is also available on the
Federal Student Aid website. To request a paper copy of the FAFSA or for more information, call 800.4.FED.AID.

In all cases, a student should complete the online version of the FAFSA at
www.fafsa.ed.gov to ensure accuracy and appropriate timing for submitting the FAFSA for fall 2014.
